Summary

Persian Army Formation examines how a relatively small kingdom built an empire spanning from the Indus Valley to the Balkans through its sophisticated military organization. This World History book delves into the Achaemenid military, highlighting its command structure, logistical support, and tactical doctrines. Did you know the Persian army wasn't just about brute force? It was also about efficient resource management, exemplified by the Royal Road, facilitating troop and supply movement.

 
The book progresses from the historical context of the Achaemenid dynasty to detailed analyses of troop composition, including the elite Immortals and varied regional contingents. It further explores the logistical networks sustaining the army, demonstrating how infrastructure projects played a pivotal role. The Persian army's success stemmed from its sophisticated organization, efficient logistics, and adaptable command system, not mere numerical superiority. This meticulous approach sets this History Military book apart.

 
This Military History book integrates military history with socio-economic and political analysis, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Achaemenid military machine. By examining how the tribute system and resource management contributed to military strength, the book provides a holistic view suitable for both scholars and enthusiasts.

    'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world.
    
    In this compelling exploration of emotional life, Osho delves into the unconscious—the hidden basement of the mind where repressed emotions like anger, guilt, fear, and jealousy reside. 
    Osho's unique insight into the human mind and heart goes far beyond conventional psychology. He teaches us to experience our emotions fully and to deal with them creatively in order to achieve a richer, fuller life.
    Discover:
    
    - The impact that fear, anger, and jealousy have on our lives
    - How emotions like guilt, insecurity, and fear are used to manipulate us
    - How to break out of unhealthy responses to strong emotions
    - How to transform destructive emotions into creative energy
    - The role of society and culture on our individual emotional styles
    "Unconsciousness is the basement of the mind. In your unconscious many things are buried which find expression through your conscious. For example, millions of people watch boxing or football matches and really get excited; and they never think about what they are watching. In boxing they are watching sheer violence. But there is enjoyment; this is the expression of hidden violence in you.
    Society has managed man with an absolutely wrong strategy. The idea of the society has been, that if something is thrown into the basement, into the darkness of the unconscious, you are finished with it. That is not the case. You are not finished with it. It will come up in different form -- and with a vengeance. And it will go on collecting."
    "Suppression has been the way, for the whole history, to keep man civilized -- but in fact, it has been the cause of keeping man only superficially civilized, skin-deep civilized. Just scratch anybody a little and you will find the barbarous, the primitive, the animal, all hidden behind him."

    "Transmigration is not a question of religion. It is a question of science. You are a spiritual being, but because you are materially conditioned, you are under the spell of material nature. When your body is annihilated, you are not finished. You get another body, just as you may change your coat and shirt. Eternally the spirit soul within the body remains the same." Bhaktivedanta Swami 
     
    Throughout history, some of the most thoughtful minds have advocated that life does not end with the death of our body, but continues via a process known as reincarnation. The Vedic literature advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. At the time of death, we leave one body and enter a new one. That is called reincarnation. 
     
    We can observe we change from one body to another throughout our lifetime. Our body at birth is completely different from our adult body. Yet throughout the conscious self remains the same. Similarly, the self remains the same at death and transfers from one body to the next in the cycle of reincarnation. Our present body is the result of a long series of actions and reactions in previous lives. The law that governs this is known as karma. Our previous actions have produced our present body, and our current actions will determine our next body. Only in the human form can we free ourselves from the endless cycle of reincarnation, of birth, and death. As Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita “From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one attains to My abode.. never takes birth again.” 
     
    Here in this unique audio work are the ancient secrets of reincarnation from a 50-year devotee of the Vedas and devotional yoga. A rare and vitally important mystical audiobook adventure.
